    Massively sad day. The horse that taught me a valuable lesson not to take trainers at face value (when GE said he wouldn’t run in the bumper, so I cashed out thinking I was doing well). Absolute legend.

    Goodluck

    Thanks all and hope you all had a great week. I might not post much but this place is central to my interest and 100% the best place for like minded people out there. Despite being far too risk averse when book building, break-even at the end of yesterday and the Heart Wood (40/1) / Gaelic...
